Ancient Symbols, and other similarities

Hello, and Happy April! I made two pairs of earrings over the weekend and decided to share them both because to me they have commonalities, and I also couldn't decide which I wanted to show you. :) I love the spiral and sun, ancient symbols, and love to see them in jewelry. Two of my favorite ceramic artists made the elements; two of my favorite lampwork glass artists made the beads. They both include antique Venetian glass beads, and the main colors are two that I have had a serious hankering to work with! Oddly enough. Both are colors I've rarely used, and I've been happy to find myself actively seeking out different palettes. Anyone else out there find half their shop or accessory wardrobe is made up of one recurring palette? Even though my tastes are diverse, I still find the color thing an issue now and then. So that's that! Here's the first pair: The soft and lovely blue spirals were made by Jana Bliznakova of HappyFishThings. The Caramel Raku lampwork beads are by Leese Mahoney of GlassByLeese. Copper-plated accent beads, vibrant blue antique Venetian glass beads, hand-dyed ribbon, oxidized copper and black Niobium ear wires finish them off.

The small, vibrant orange/red suns were made by Petra Carpreau of ScorchedEarthOnEtsy. The rustic yellow with a hint of green lampwork glass beads are by Kimberly Rogers of Numinosity and NuminosityBeads. The dangles are strung on waxed Irish linen and include antique Venetian glass beads, Czech glass beads, Red Creek Jasper Heishi beads, and rustic Green Garnet nuggets. Another Green Garnet sits atop the yellow canvas of Kim's glass beads. Again wrapped with oxidized copper and hanging from black Niobium ear wires.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with us today. The ever so talented and fun Ms. Nikki Zehler will be here tomorrow, I believe. A visit with Nikki is always worth the time! Thanks again. Have a great rest of the week. Sincerely, norbel
